Description of key information

Ethanol, 2,2’-[[3-[2-hydroxyethyl]amino]propyl]iminobis-, N-alkyl derivatives do not contain hydrolysable covalent bonds. Chemical cleavage of a carbon-nitrogen bond under environmental conditions is only possible with a carbonyl group adjacent to the nitrogen atom. Degradation of ethanol, 2,2’-[[3-[2-hydroxyethyl]amino]propyl]iminobis-, N-alkyl derivatives through hydrolysis is therefore not considered.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with column 2 of REACH (Regulation 1907/2006/EC) Annex VIII, a test for hydrolysis as a function of pH does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
